JCM200 100W - sounds like **** man!

I play a JCM200 100W - and it sounds like **** man! well it doesnt sound like **** but it doesnt sound as good as any other Marshall head ive played. i really wanted the sound of an JCM800. anyone have any suggestions as to what i can do to improve the sound? its new and only a year old but ive never got a sweetass sound from it and i get a sweet sound from pretty much any other marshall.

Do you play it at bedroom volume levels? Because there's no way that it will sound as good as a cranked JCM800 at those levels. It's just not possible. The JCM2000s are not the best Marshalls produced by a long shot, but you should easily be able to get a good tone out of it. What are your settings?

Do you mean a JCM 2000? Like a DSL 100? I've never got a good rock sound out of a DSL. There was this one covered in Orange tolex that I used to mess around with. I never got a tone that I liked. The amp was either too flubby on the low end or was too shrill sounding. I wasn't very impressed with the Ultra channel either.

You could try boosting it with an overdrive. That might help.

You're never going to get a JCM 800 sound out of it though.
